Coordinated Assessment Model

The goal of the CAM system is to connect people in a fair and equitable way to housing and other related resources as available.

What to expect?
If you are experiencing a housing crisis and are in need of somewhere safe to stay, you can get assistance by contacting CAM.
| |
What is changing?
Moving forward, only households on the “need shelter list” will be considered for a shelter referral. As shelter space becomes available, CAM will refer households based on immediate safety concerns and risks.

If you see a person experiencing unsheltered homelessness, you can request a Street Outreach Team to connect the person to our homelessness response system to be assessed for needs and connected to resources as they are available.
